Quoted from "Nito;590918"

Has anyone been able to get in after they relogged after trying the first time and failing?

is there a limited amount of "good" siege spots? and everyone else cant get in? Then when sieges finish more people can get in becuase the "good" siege spots open up.


Not that we know. The pattern with my guild was that if you got in one of the first few, you are good. But dont crash, you wont be able to get back. If not, you are out.

Number of people who can get in seems to vary. We had 5 vs 5 the other day, today is 2 vs 1.

People who can't get in are weird. I had town go invis and I can run around. I had town go invis and so do I (and I can't move). After relog, I was in another zone, falling from the sky till I died. No XP/dura loss, and once I ressed I was in real zone.

Another toon had to relog several times.

Be careful people. The game seems to try to move you to SW server and failing, but it puts you in strange position in main world. I *would not* be surprised if someone got stuck in limbo during attempt to enter SW and then could not enter main game.

Regrettably, I have no more information to offer at this time.

I'm hoping they get it fixed ASAP, though - like many of you, Siege is my favorite part of the game by far.



Wow that is so sad ....... SO basically your telling us gameforge doesn't give a rats azz about there game ...... they can't even tell you a employee of theirs that there working on it or anything? .... I see and hear NEW players just coming into the game complaining and quitting because the feel there is no support in the game (these are the new blood and new money that keeps games going)..... and when things like this happen you cant defend the game even and try to get them to stay.

Perhaps as a employee of theirs its your duty to inform them that there lack of quality management is driving the game into the ground? If they don't care to run the game properly perhaps they could sell it to someone who cares about keeping people happy and making a profit by running a well maintained game.

Makes you wonder why our so-called "Community Manager" isnt managing the community, especially when there is an issue of this magnitude.

Just for everyone's info involved, players dont buy diamonds for festival events.

There are a respectable number who do in fact buy diamonds for siege.

My guild leader was rerolled back to yesterday, and lost all the items she got during that day when she crashed while trying to enter siege, so I'd advise against trying to get into siege too often.

Permanently-happy guild leader is now sad :(

Yes, there is a thread in bug forum about that. Happened to me too.

My working theory is that in process of siege transfer your character is copied to siege server and then copied back at the end. Except that "copy to siege server" operation can sometimes fail and the version of your toon on the siege server is one from yesterday. That is the version copied back... and you are now effectively rolled back.

Granted, it is only a theory, but it seems to fit so far. That can produce item loss or item gain, but the important part is that people need to understand - IT IS NOT SAFE to attempt to enter SW without taking proper precautions to safeguard your stuff. Be careful out there, people.

Ticket filed... don't expect stuff is recoverable. I didn't lose *that* much - some XP, some TP; big loss for me was 5 stats that my shell-gathering alts sent to me. Me not so happy

Ok now ur thinking GF knows what an algorithm is they can't even program a festival? Come on what planet are u from?

Quoted from "vfwiffo;590903"

You sure? Recall did not work for me. Transport did, though.



Read more then. Matching algorithm is not that hard to figure. Oh, and get a spell checker.

So...siege becomes unplayable for every US server, and the only responses we get are from Forum Mods...who can't do anything, aside from reporting it to the higher-ups, and don't get told much, if anything. Siege breaking is bad enough, but on top of that, some people who try to get into siege get their characters rolled back...and still no response for the issue.

Why bother to give us a CM if she's not actually going to...you know, talk to the community? Yes, FMs have reported it, but officials not even bothering to comment on this thread only shows the US playerbase how little Gameforge cares.

I really didn't care for Swag or Dionaea, but at least they talked to their playerbase frequently, and would never let an issue like this just sit here with no comment. Bad management is bearable if there's actually open communication. :\

I believe it is human nature that when no information is forthcoming, that people little at historical points of reference, and in this case assume the worst. It would only take a few seconds to say something like. " hey guys, I checked in on this issue today, and I'm sorry that I don't have any additional information at this time."

You are right to ask for some response, effervescent. Unfortunately I can't say anything about issues or solution. My last things are reading the reports on forum regarding this issues, talking with the US Mentor team and sent an update to our technical staff and QA. First we have to locate the issue before there is anything to say.
For now I can only give you my understanding about this situation. Bugs and technical issues are mostly undesirable, but this one could feel like a summer w/o sun and snow instead.
That's why it's hard for me to say be patient, instead I have to say we are looking into it.

Since the problem lies in the US region only, I would assume it has some glitch/bug/error to do with time?

Perhaps try moving siege forward 1 hour temporarily (from 7:00 PM Pacific to 8:00 PM Pacific), and see what effect that has on the whole situation.

I don't think it's quite that easy. I'm pretty sure the fire festival is integrated into the rest of the patch, and I've got no idea how successful rolling back a patch without rolling back everyone's character would be. It could conceivably create more problems than it would fix. I'm a rabid siege fanatic... but even I don't want to lose days of character progress just to fix it.

Wonder why we have to go trough this every year.

Zavod, last year issue was not resolved until next festival. I highly doubt it will be resolved this year around. I remember people reporting fire festival being a problem 2 years back. (there were posts at the time, until helpful IT department did not decide to clear our history.

So, it is up to you guys to keep it running and not quite that easy, but just so you know, most of people who have quite the game last year was just around the problems with SW. There is that point where people get just frustrated and quit. Some of them are still calling us to move to the game that does not have those problems.

And if you think that roll back will solve anything - imho it would just solve future of USA servers. You could shut them down as well.

Is it possible to just take out the fire festival. I'd much rather have no event than no siege.

Not a rollback, just removing the festival in a patch to see what happens.
